In 1616, Sir William Harvey was the first person to describe the importance of right ventricular function.1 However, the right ventricle (RV) has received little attention in the past, with cardiology dealing mostly with the diseases of the left ventricle (LV) and their potential treatment. Since the early 1950s, however, the prognostic significance of RV function has been recognised in several…

The development of pulmonary oedema does not necessarily indicate a cardiac cause and of the cardiac causes for pulmonary oedema, not all can be attributed to left ventricular failure.1 The majority of women developing symptoms and signs of heart failure during pregnancy have no known pre-existing cardiomyopathy.

Central sleep apnoea (CSA) occurs in approximately one-third of patients with HF and is associated with a significant increase in morbidity and mortality compared to HF patients without CSA.1–3 CSA results in intermittent hypoxia and activation of the renin–angiotensin system, which contributes to worsening HF.4 Symptoms such as fatigue and difficulty concentrating often overlap with the effects…
